I drink alcohol and it is fine with me, EXCEPT beer. I love beer too, but just doesn't work for me. I also allow myself one soft drink a day. However, I will say this, if my stomach feels touchy AT ALL I do not drink alcohol or the soft drink. People will probably tell me that those are my problem for my 'touchy' days, but I can usually pinpoint what I eat to make it uneasy. Some days or even a couple of days, even if I don't have a soft drink or alcohol, it will act up, and that is when it is frustrating. I seriously think IBS has a mind of its own. When it wants to act up, it will...no matter what for me. I also don't drink alcohol or the soft drink on an empty stomach. I try to eat a little something before that first drink!
I love to be social, and most of the time, even if my stomach hurts some before I go someplace, once I get around my friends it usually eases. I do carry chewable Gas-X around. Gas is a major problem for me!
